Morrissey has canceled his Tuesday performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” saying he could not perform because the cast members of “Duck Dynasty” are also scheduled to appear. The A&E reality stars make duck calls and hunt frequently, so animal advocate Morrissey said he could not perform if they were also on the show.

A statement posted yesterday on the fan site True to You, said while he is thankful to be invited to perform, “he cannot morally be on a television program where the cast members of ‘Duck Dynasty’ will also be guests. Morrissey would be honored to play the show, if ‘Duck Dynasty’ were removed.”

The singer said, “As far as my reputation is concerned, I can’t take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers. If Jimmy cannot dump ‘Duck Dynasty’ then we must step away.”

Hahahaha!!! “Animal serial killers”. I do believe they eat what they kill. That’s called “living” Mr. Morrissey. You are entitled to your own opinion, but I would say that slaughterhouses are the serial killers….and the grocery stores are an accomplace!
